Instructions
Step 1: Roast the Beets and Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed beets and sweet potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Spread them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove and let cool slightly.
Step 2: Prepare the Dijon Maple Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Set aside.
Step 3: Make the Pistachio Dust
- Place the pistachios in a food processor or mortar and pestle. Pulse or grind until you achieve a fine crumbly texture.
- If using honey, lightly coat the pistachios before grinding for a slightly sticky texture.
Step 4: Assemble the Salad
- Arrange the roasted beets and sweet potatoes on a serving platter.
- Place the burrata cheese in the center or tear it into smaller chunks to distribute around the vegetables.
- Drizzle the Dijon maple glaze generously over the top.
Step 5: Add the Pistachio Dust and Garnishes
- Sprinkle the pistachio dust evenly across the salad.
- Garnish with fresh microgreens or arugula for added freshness.
- Optionally, drizzle with a little balsamic glaze for extra sweetness and visual appeal.
